#1 of 2 1999 Volvo XC70 by chris127 Feb 08, 2008 (12:32 pm)
I'm looking at buying a 1999 XC70 with 85,000 miles. I will be having it checked out by a mechanic. This will be a car for my child who is a college student in New England. Any comments? Bad idea? good idea? forget about it? Replies to this message: ngnola (Apr 15, 2008 9:57 am)

Replying to: chris127 (Feb 08, 2008 12:32 pm) A little late to respond maybe but I am a college student and I have owned a 1998 V70XC for 4 years. It currently has close to 120k miles - I have all of the original service records from the previous owner and the only problems the car has ever had is the ABS control unit and the A/C blower fan. All the other repairs were minor and routine - maybe totally 3k in total over 4 years - which is pretty good for a car that gets driven cross country and in the mountains all the time. My dealer I have it serviced at is excellent and they will not let the car go until they are sure that everything is in good working order - the mechanics will even stay late to get the car back that day. This is our family's 3rd Volvo and it is great (well except for the 2004 S80 sedan - horrible car) But our 2 XC70 wagons have been great.   On a side note also very safe - I have been in 3 accidents with no damage to the car or me at all. 1. The car rolled down an embankment 2. Got rear ended on the high way by a person going 60 3. Someone's windshield flew off on the high way going 70 and landed on my windshield - and nothing only a couple of small nicks and scratches from where the glass landed/broke.
